T h e Leader presents the latest available information
on the physical and written exams for Sanitation Man
Last week the tough physical exam for Sanitation Man had a private try­
out performance. This week, as a result of that tryout, Prof. Francis Patrick
Wall, through the Civil Service Commission, issued information to aid the can­
didates. The tryout test showed him what strong men could and could not do.
The plans are still not final, but it is unlikely that they will be altered in any
important matter.

New York City’s teachers pay one-half their pension
funds, the city pays the rest. This week they learned
that they will be exempt from paying federal income
taxes on their share of the pension cost.
Dr. Alberto C. Bonaschi, member of the Board of
Education and chairman of the Retirement Board,
quoted a Washington ruling. It holds that pensions
are considered similar to annuities.

GERTRUDE LAWRENCE
G
ERTRLIDE LAWRENCE, hrilliutit actress now iierfonuin*; in the play, •''Sky l-ark,” at the
lias
rapidly gained for herself the reputation, both in the United States and in England, of Itein^ one of
greatest of all stage performers.
DOROTHY LAMOUR, No. 1 glamour girl of the Hollywood movie lots, has just eonipleled three new
pictures— “ Typhoon,” “ The Road to Singapore,” and “ Dance Witli the Devil.” Dorothy rose to fame herself
via a heauty contest. It was her choice as “ Miss New O rleans” that decided her to crash the show husiness. She
decided to sink or swim not on her heauty, however, hut on her talents as a songstress . . . W^eil, yon know the results!
COBINA WRIGHT, JR., hasnU reached 20, and sh e came right out of the social register to make friends
with ordinary mortals. And everybody takes to her.
She’s nice, they say . . . natural, unaflechMl . . . (iobina
doesn't regret leaving the social register whirl. She’s hap|>y, and she loves her work as songstress. It was only
a few years ago that she started singing anonymously at a hotel show in which her mother starred— an<l has made
a startling success on her own.
These three beauties are the judges in the Civil Service Leader’s contest to flntl New York’s handsomest cop.
They’ll judge fair . , . they’ll judge good . . . So, lad— «»e— ee--s an<I genllemen, let’s have your nominations.
Cops are usually considered tough, hard-boiled— anything hut handsome. The Leader doesn’t agree. We feel that the
men noio on the force are a distinctly superior breed. Not only are they good cops, but they stand up very well when it
comes to looks.
Who’s the best-looking of them all? Beginning this week, the Civil Service Leader is going to search in the station
houses, on the street corners, along distant beats— uiitil we find the three handsomest cops in Neio York State.
We want your help. Please send in photos. Every precinct ought to decide on its Adonis, and send us bis picture— or giv§
us a phone call, and we’ll send a Leader photographer over.
Cops, detectives. State Troopers— all are eligible.
If you know a good-looking but modest cop, give us a tip— and we'll get after him.
There’ll be sioell prizes for the three cops who makes the grade.
Help us find New York’s handsomest cop!

York Stale does not receive nny
money from the ta^i on real estate. That
goes to cities, villages, towns and school districis for local services. Most of the taxes
you pay are collected by the federal government or hy local governments.
LO C A L
FE D E R A L
State-collected taxes are returned to local
government in the proportion shown in the
chart. Taxes collected by the federal govern­
ment and by local governments, which con­
stitute by far the greater portion of the taxes
collected, are not included in this chart.

New taxes are nee»lt‘d, not heeause the normal eost «»f f?«'ernmenl is
inereasin^, htil hi'eaiise eitizens have demanded that their government
aissufne new duties and furnish added services. Durinju; the past 10 years,
the Stale Hudp‘1 proper has actually dvvrvnsvd nearly $50,0^)0,000. In the
sam<‘ period the unein|»loyment r<‘lief hudj»;el has increased over

'rii(‘ ('.onstilutiim retpiirt^s that the hud^et he l>alanced each year. C<m8<M|iienlly., ihe taxes which >scr«‘ sulYici<‘nl 10 years a«o must he incrcase<l
or new taxes must he levied when the f'ov«‘rnnient takes on the new hurden
o f cai'in^ for the unenip!<»yed to Ihe extent demanded of it today.
I.eaders, hoth |{e|uihlicans and Democrats, >vho are familiar vith the
facts, Ikmc said:
‘’'■It seems I«» us that if any jusi «*rilicism may he directed against this
i»ud^<‘l, it is lhal appropriations for the regular State ser\ ices are loo scanty.
Anyone \>ho can translate ihe hare fijjures inU> the human services an«l the

'I'he >ahi(‘ of any or^ani/alitm depends largely on the ahility of its
staff. This is particularly true in the public service. Mew York Slate has
a hi;j;hly elTicienI corps <»f employees, scIccUmI on the hasis of merit an<l
fitness. 'I'he total salaries of all State employees, from the (J<ivernor down
fo ihe lowliest charwtnnan, auKUinl lt» only .S69..'{94,212.7 I.
'I'his (ijii;ur<‘ includes salaries of llu‘ Judiciary and the Legislature— yet
il amonnls lt» only 17 p»‘r cent of the total Stale hudget.
^o niort' wasteful pcdicy could he ado|)ted than to repudiate the salary
8cal(‘s that lunt‘ h«*en estaidished after careful research and study. The
sa\in^s accomplished hy reducin*? salarit's »>f State employees are too incon.setpienlial to hring ahout tax reduction, and there is no juslificalioii
for continually seeking; economy at the expense of low-paid Stale employees.
Stale employees are patriotic, competent, an<l interested in their work,
l>ut they aire human an<l tfu*y expect a square tlenl.

CONDUCTORS and train­
men hold almost 3,000
subway jobs in New
York City’s transportation
system. The conductor op­
erates the doors and acts as
“captain” of the train. His
salary may be 65.3c to 75c
an hour, depending on the
length of his service and the
particular system he works
for. When the train runs
more than five cars, a tiainman may be added. Train­
men operate the rear cars
and have charge of their own
section. Toughest jobs are on
the “express trains,” but as­
signments are principally a
matter of pot luck.
1
A CONDUCTOR may become a Motorman by taking a course in the
“School-car.” There is no other
way of learning the honorable profes­
sion of subway engineer, a title held
by 3,100 men. Top-ranking are Road
Motormen, who get up to 95.3c an
hour. Yard Motormen drive the cars
within the yard limits or to make up
cars of proper length. Veteran trans­
portation men call them Switchmen,
although they have long since given
up manual control switching foi the
more efficient tower control.

TRAINS GET a thorough inspection every 72 hours by men from seven
units. Each unit is assigned to a'lpecial part—wheels, brakes, doors,
air (for air brakes) and multiple unit door controls. With a full crew,
&thorough inspection can be made i« seven minutes. At the same time a
torps of car cleaners run through the insides, check bulbs, signs, seats,
floors and even the advertisements on top. If a major repair is necessary,
the car is ordered to repair bam. Above are two men inspecting a subway
car. Most common ailment in all subway cars— “flat wheels.”
S
MAINTAINERS—^AN ARMY of skilled workers and their helpers— keep
the transportation system's roadway in repair. Job classifications in­
clude Carpenters, Masons, Welders, Painters, Signal Men, Lighting
Men, Track Men, Ventilation Men, Drainage Men, Turnstile Men, and a
special corps of Contact Rail men, who repair the “3rd rail.” Salaries
range from 66c to 80c an hour on the Independent System. IRT pays
some skilled men $1.10 an hour. Under civil service most vacancies for
the skilled positions are filled through promotional examinations.
4
SOFTEST and most re­
sponsible job in the
transportation system is
that of towerman. The towerman must control the sig­
nal lights and switches to
make certain that only one
train gets to each track at the
same time. If a train passes
a stop signal, airbrakes are
automatically “tripped” and
the cars are stopped dead.
There are only 500 towermen
in the entire subway system.
Pay is 75c to 80c an hour.
5
AFTER every 1,000 miles
each train goes into the
repair barn for a thor­
ough overhauling.
Repair­
men hold jobs'in almost every
craft. The repair barn can
make a complete new car if
necessary. Each craft has its
o w n salary classifications.
Promotion is generally from
laborer to helper to me­
chanic. Under the civil serv­
ice most of the positions will
probably be in the open com­
petitive class.

School sup 'rintendents are paid by
Stale funds, but selected hij politically
mi>uh‘d school boards. This aiioDialons
situation is attacked in a bill introduct’d before the Legislature this week
by Senator Page of Johnson City, and
As'it’inblvinan Fite, of Poughkeepsie.
The bill would have the State Commis­
sion establish a list, and the school
boards loould make appointments from
the compilation of names.
Communities are jealous of their
school systems, and will hang on to the
privilege of making appointments up to
the very end. Civil Service seers pre­
dict, however, that it’s in the cards for
the schools to come under the merit
system: it’s only a matter of time. The
Page-Fite bill, then, seems to be a first
step. Any battles it brings up are forerunners of a greater fight later on.
The bill is the first to be sponsored
this session by the Association of State
Civil Service Employees. More from the
desks of its officers are expected next
week.

School janitors in Rensselaer today
are paid under two different salary
schedules, depending on the size of the
building in which they ivork. Tonight
the Board of Education meets to estab­
lish a uniform wage. Superintendent
of Schools Walter S. Clark says that
employees will start at a minimum
salary, then get regular increases up to
the inaximum. Besides the janitors,
the local attendance officer and secre­
tary to the superintendent will also be
affected by the change.
